Sustainable Cabins

Getting Started is Easy

Step 1 - Talk To Us

Everything starts with a conversation. We’ll take the time to listen to your ideas, understand your property, and learn how you’d like to use your cabin — whether it’s for family getaways, a rental investment, or full-time living.

  • We’ll answer your questions
  • Discuss what’s possible on your site
  • Outline timeframes, costs and what to expect next

 

This first step helps set the foundations for a smooth and enjoyable journey.

Step 2 - Choose Your Design

Next, explore our carefully crafted cabin designs. Each one is versatile, sustainable, and designed with modern living in mind.

  • Select the size and layout that suits your lifestyle
  • Consider the number of bedrooms, living spaces, and deck options
  • See how the design works with your site and future plans

 

We’ll help you match the right cabin design to your vision.

Step 3 – Choose Your Materials & Colour Scheme

This is where your cabin starts to feel like yours. We’ll guide you through a selection of high-quality finishes, sustainable materials, and colour palettes.

  • Choose external cladding and roofing finishes
  • Select internal materials and fittings
  • Finalise your colour scheme to reflect your personal style

 

We’ll make sure your cabin is both practical and beautiful, down to the last detail.

Step 4 – Submit Your Plans

Once your design and selections are locked in, it’s time to prepare the paperwork. We’ll assist with everything required for council approvals and compliance.

  • Planning permits
  • Energy ratings and reports
  • Bushfire, acoustic, or other specialist reports (if required)
  • Documentation for council submission

 

Our team is experienced in navigating these requirements, so you don’t need to feel overwhelmed. We’ll guide and support you through the process. Reports & submissions to council are billed separately by the planner.

Step 5 – Build Your Cabin

With approvals in place, the exciting part begins. Your cabin is handcrafted in our workshop with care and precision, then delivered and installed on your site.

  • Built by our skilled team to the highest standard
  • On-site installation with attention to detail
  • A smooth, efficient process from start to finish

 

All that’s left is to step inside, relax, and enjoy your new Unearthed Cabin.
